I give my students the option of not doing an arangetram or having it in a temple. But some parents still want to organize events that resemble mini weddings.

When I became a novice monk, I lived in a temple where the atmosphere was quite like in a family. The abbot is like a father and other monks are like your big brothers, your small, younger brothers. It is a kind of family.

In a jazz atmosphere, the audience members were so quiet and respectful of the musicians that you felt you were almost part of a meeting at a church or a temple, where everyone was completely in tune with the sermon and what the whole event was about.

For a while, I became an atheist; now that I'm grown up, though, I'm not hard-edged enough to be an atheist. Even though I live with a flaming atheist, I love going to temple. I love all the rituals.

I was a little tomboy, growing up, but we had to go to the library every weekend if we wanted some form of entertainment. And I would gravitate towards the Shirley Temple, Judy Garland section of the library, and I would just pop that in and watch on replay because kids can watch movies over and over again.

I grew up on the North Shore of Chicago, and I don't think I had a friend that wasn't Jewish. I spent more time in a temple than any other house of worship. I've been to about 150 bar and bat mitzvahs.

It is at programmes organised on the sidelines of temple festivals that you get to see raw audiences who will let you know immediately whether the act has clicked or not. It was those audiences who taught me how to strike a rapport with the audience.

Every sport needs its temple, its cathedral.

I was raised to treat my body as a temple, but even as a little girl, I had a major issue with self-esteem. I thought there was something wrong with the temple.

Discussing how old you are is the temple of boredom.

One game I'm always on is 'NBA Jam.' And 'Bejeweled,' games like that, and 'Temple Run.'

Ah, who can tell how hard it is to climb the steep where Fame's proud temple shines afar?

We reach a secondary road and - here comes the bonus - we pass the Temple of Neptune and Cerene, at Paestum, both looking beautiful in the sunlight. Strung from the Doric columns are lines of soldiers' washing. At last they had been put to practical use. If only the ancient Greeks had known.

I grew up in West Philly, and I took an acting class at Temple University there. Then, after school, I moved to San Francisco.

The human voice deployed to recite the Vedas and later aid the temple dancers was paramount before any instruments emerged.

At Temple University, and I'm sure this was the way in a lot of film classes, comedy was not an option, and not considered a serious form of expression. You had to make a film about an issue.

I may have been born in Tel Aviv, but my umbilical cord emerges from the Temple Mount.

Signing my father's biopic inside a Shiv temple was surreal.

If you're into architecture and you're from the West, everything is hors d'oeuvres for working to rebuild the Temple. Ultimately you're led there. You can't escape it.

The first 'Gremlins' was PG because I think it was before Spielberg scarred people with 'Temple of Doom.'
